If the 2017 Subaru Outback lift gate is not working right then there are a few reasons. Mechanically You may not have enough hydraulic fluid in the system, or the pump is bad. You may also have rust build-up making it not move. More likely though You have burnt out fuse. To get to the fuse box look to the left of the steering wheel look for a small seam or crack along the dash. Using a screwdriver or prybar You will want to pop this open. On the inside, You will find a bunch of fuses. On the back of the panel that You pulled open, You will see a diagram that will show You what each of the fuses is for. If this is not on the back of the panel then You can also find it in the owner's annual for the vehicle. Once You have figured out which fuse You need simply pull it out. The two sections that stick up should be connected by a thin strip of metal. If this has been broken then the fuse is no good and will need to be replaced. If this strip is there then the fuse is fine and can be popped back in. New fuses will cost You about 10 dollars, so they are pretty cheap.

There are is a 30 amp main hydraulic fuse (not identified as such on fuse box) and 2 sensor fuses (that do other things as well) that you cannot identify easily from the fuse box lid. Search the Subaru site...I had to check them all and it was some type of error code that pulling all the fuses seemed to fix.
